GPS Tracking Technology

Global Positioning is a system used to determine precise location of the carrier at regular intervals, the system requires a tracking unit that sends information to a central gps server, this data transfer occurs between the GPS unit and the server via gprs, or connected internet & by use of Global positioning software the carrier’s location information is displayed in the background of a map.

The Geo location tracking is achieved by using devices called trackers which has a GPS module – which is used to calculate coordinates, GPS loggers log coordinates data and transmitters communicate the information to the server

Types of GPS Tracker

Data pusher: these are trackers used for Assets tracking, Vehicle Tracking, This is also called as a beacon which sends data at regular intervals relating to altitude, speed, etc to a designated server and the data can be used for analysis.

Data loggers: These are devices that log the location information at regular intervals, their sole purpose is to log information and they do not transmit the same, they are equipped with internal storage and it can be plugged in via USB to extract the stored data for further analysis
